Great company, innovative tech - Anonymous employee Cyberhaven Employee Review

High-growth cybersecurity company, meaningful equity upside if things go well, still in build mode which enables real influence on how the GTM org is built and scaled. Strong product-market fit narrative in a space with urgency. Cross-functional visibility across Alliances, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, and Product. Encouragement to build AI workflows and adopt across the stack.

None that I can think of

Worked closely with the three co-founders and CEO Howard Ting in the early years, helping build the company from the ground up. Being close to leadership, engineering, and core decision-making was a huge learning experience. The founding team and early engineering group set a strong tone — humble, sharp, and focused on building something real. As the company scaled, I spent more time working with Sales, Sales Engineering, Finance, and Customer Experience. The environment was intense and fast-moving, but highly execution-driven. Expectations were clear, ownership was real, and teams were aligned around outcomes. Customer interaction was a major highlight. Talking directly with customers, understanding their security goals, and feeding that insight back into the product made the work tangible and high-impact. You could see customer feedback directly influence product direction. Loved working with the individual AEs and SEs day to day. Tight-knit, high-trust teams where people genuinely had each other’s backs. It felt like family, without losing focus on performance. Strong leadership across teams — John Loya, who runs the SE team, is an excellent leader and a real advocate for his team. High standards, strong ownership, and a culture that valued getting things done. Intense at times, but we had a lot of fun along the way.

Startup intensity isn’t for everyone. Priorities can shift quickly and the pace can be demanding.
